1. What is a typical day/week like for you?

Work!
Other than daily work I work In Other Business so it’s In-N-Out periods of rest
Innovation and creativity. Hitting the lab is still Freedom though LOL

2. What is your best memory of starting your
career?

I
can say being abt seventeen..sitting downtown in the library organizing my 1st
label. I had a small team..but I knew it took vision and work. I knew it took a
team to get things done. Plus my love for the music and culture was a part of
it strong..that was exciting to me.

3. What advice would you give to someone
wanting to create and market a brand from scratch?

You’re
going to need three things. Work vision and patience! If somebody tells you
anything is overnight it’s a bold lie. The development of sense of self message
and Market of your brand is enough. Then the patience to actually see it grow
is another. Take nothing for granted and very little is given to you. What you
do have is inside the need is the patience to manifest it. Factual.

4. How can others reach out to you for business
related information?

At
my email mainly..via Facebook or even at me on Twitter. I’m very diplomatic and
I we’ll see what is the best for any prospective venture.

5. What’s your favorite feature of
music/podcasts/media?

To
be honest..the release of my last ep was work..and work that bled out thru the
following years. Fortunate. One header single and a flip..all good.. but I grew
since then as we do..in podcasting that was 6 years of dedication. Honestly I’m
glad I made a difference through the content Etc when time was up I moved on. I
basically let content evolve on its own.

6. How many future downloads/purchases are
estimated for your work this year?

Honestly
I would say a 50 to 75 percent as a
block number out if the content that’s out there. Factual fam..lemme tell you the
function of industry changed. But the real..you got quality..you got market? You’ll
always have a run. Family it takes work 300.

7. What is next for your business?

Definitely
more progressive content. You gotta evolve as artists and it comes though the stream.

8. RANK your top 5 entrepreneurs/business
owners?

Ah!
Good question fam. 5. Nipsey hustle. Of coarse the ascended master ..og our
guy. Rip. Cats must understand all that took work. Support or no
support..threat or comfort. Nipsey build the foundation for himself and others.
Praise or hated he had vision and he made it work. 4. Chamilionare. He flipped
his career post nineties off no limit roster. Instead of extending himself to
stay relevant he chose Foundation. Respect. 3. 50 cent. Curt. My dude. Evolved from
the pangs of the trap…to industry..to investments. The point I commend is curt chose
to be himself in whatever he wanted to
do. That’s what made many respect him. 2. My partner Amir Thompson of Teary eyez
brand. His own based out of Philadelphia. My brother I watched him grind and his content stands for
something. And he’s humble. 1. Myself. Not out of arrogance. But if your
manifesting, you respect others grind..but your attention is the work of you
own hands.

Interview with Matt Westin and The Now Legacy! 🎥🎥1. What is a typical day/week like for you?My days/weeks have been unpredictable for years since I left engineering for good. But recently, I've been working part time wiring/rewiring houses and businesses with a couple family electrical companies, then I hit the gym (at least 5 days a week), then I try to relax in the evenings. Those long days at work and the gym can be pretty exhausting! I bowl with my brothers and my cousin in a league on Tuesday nights, then we grab a few beers at the local fire hall afterwards. Thursday and Sunday nights I blow off steam, laugh, and drink beer at a local brewery with some of my very best friends. I DJ almost every Friday night and occasionally on Saturday nights. I'm looking forward to getting my band up an running so I can add rehearsal and performances to my weekly agenda!
